The He-Man Movie Loses Goyer As Director.

Scribe, producer and sometime director, David Goyer, will no longer be directing the Master of The Universe reboot for Sony Pictures.

Goyer, best known for his writing work on the Blade Trilogy, The Dark Knight and Man of Steel, had to step away from directorial duties due to scheduling conflicts. He will, however, continue on as executive producer and screenwriter on the movie. Goyer is the latest director to drop out of the movie following McG and John M. Chu.

This won't be the first time that someone held a sword aloft and claimed the power of Greyskull in live action. That honour went to Dolph Lundgren in 1987's Master of The Universe adaptation, which is actually a pretty cool movie. Lundgren donned the loincloth of He-Man (with nary a mention of Prince Adam) with Frank Langella doing a wonderful job as Skeletor.

Goyer leaving as the director puts the project into something of a pickle as the movie already has a release date for December 18th, 2019. There has been no casting news for the movie just yet, meaning that this one will probably be delayed further.
